The legend of the Thunderbird, supposedly a giant bird with an 18-foot-long wingspan, has been captivating people for decades.
The legend surrounding the Thunderbird is believed to stem from Native American folklore about flying animals of the same name.
One of the earliest and most famous documented sightings of the mysterious flying creature dates back to 1860, when Arizona newspaper The Tombstone Epitaph published an article about men on horseback who shot a “winged monster” out of the sky.
The creature, thought to be a Pterodactyl-like animal with an 18-foot-longer wingspan, became known as the Thunderbird.
